Quentin,

IIRC, you know how to compile from SVN, right? I'm attaching a patch
that might solve the issue...

1., the FileAttributes tag is automatically inserted, values depending
on the value in <movie>/@local-access ('filesystem' or 'network'), and
the existence of any <meta> elements (directly) within the movie. This
functionality was only for version==8, the patch fixes that to >=8.

2., any FileAttributes tags from imported SWFs should be stripped. The
patch should do that.

apply the patch with
 # cd swfmill
 # patch -p0 < .../path/to/FileAttributes.diff

if you report success, i'll commit this to svn. but i havent tested
it :)

hope this helps, if it does, it would be nice if you could document
this feature on the osflash wiki (with a note about its availability).
